PHF President & CEO Featured in the "Unsung Stewards" Podcast

July 30, 2021


Our President & CEO Patrick McNamara was interviewed in the first episode of ReThink Health’s new podcast Unsung Stewards, titled “Community-Driven Response to the Pandemic.”


In times of crisis, organizations can resort to top-down responses. But when his community faced COVID-19, Pat McNamara threw that playbook out the window. What if local leaders were the ones naming their needs and aspirations? In the first episode of #UnsungStewards, Pat shares how his team shifted to a hyperlocal approach.

Aspen Institute spotlighted BeWellPBC , a Palm Beach County behavioral health movement supported by Palm Health Foundation, and their Community Connectors , a group of advocates that help improve the health and wellbeing of their neighborhoods by serving as a bridge between residents and private and public health services.
